the rolling stones’un 1971’de cikan sticky fingers albumunun hem ilk sarkisi hem de ilk single’i. yalnizca grubun degil, rock n’ roll muziginin en iyi sarkilarindan biri olarak degerlendirilir. sarki, uyustrucuya gondermeler de icerse de, genel olarak, bakire zenci kolesiyle gizlice oral seks yapan efendisinin hikayesini anlatir.

efendim, soylentiye gore, mick jagger, 1968 senesinde, grubuyla birlikte new york’dayken, ike turner’in en az onun kadar un yapmis vokalistlerinden claudia lennear’la tanisir. mick’in zaten zenci kadinlara karsi bir sempatisi vardir (bkz: bianca jagger), fakat lennear’da daha farkli bir şuhluk, daha farkli bir cazibe gorur. neyse, zaman gecer, 1969’da, ned kelly’nin cekimleri icin jagger, avustralya’ya gider. o zamanki sevgilisi marianne faithfull da, filmdeki sevgilisini oynamak icin onun pesinden gelir. fakat, halihazirda boka sarmis iliskileri, cekimler baslamadan iyice berbat bir duruma gelir, ve cift ayrilir. fakat, kafayi yillardir jagger’a takmis faithfull, bunu kabullenemez, ve uyku ilaci icerek intihar etmeye calisir. bu olaydan cok etkilenen mick jagger, cekimler sirasinda iki sarki yazar: wild horses ve i got the blues. cekimlerin sonuna dogru, depresyonu hafif hafif atlatmaya baslayinca, aklina sik, sik claudia lennear gelmeye baslar ve, bu sefer, tarz olarak diger iki sarkidan epey farkli olan brown sugar’i yazar. (bunlarin hepsi rivayet olabilir, tabii, ama maxwell scott’un the man who shot liberty valance’da soyledigi gibi, “efsane gercege donustugunde, efsaneyi yayinla.”)

grup, sarkinin albumdeki halini aralik 1969’da, alabama’da kaydeder (bu kayittan iki hafta sonra, keith richards’in dogum gununde eric clapton’la birlikte baska bir versiyon daha kaydederler: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6fzlqu6wwg). gimme shelter, paint it black ve satisfaction’dan da once, grubun en bilinir (ve en carpici) riff’iyle baslayan ve benzer rifflerle devam eden (mick taylor’in yardimi muthistir gercekten) sarkinin en onemli ikinci unsuru, 1968-1975 arasi donemde the rolling stones’un cok kullandigi (rocks off, honky tonk women vs), gitar ve nefesli calgilarin catismasidir. ikinci kitadan sonra, bobby keys'in saksofon solosu, richards ve taylor'a eslik ettikten sonra, gitarlar ve saksofon, sarkinin son bolumunde resmen atismaya baslarlar. ian stewart'in gaza gelmesi ve keith richards'in son kitayi jagger'la soylemesiyle devam eden kresendo, jagger'in bosalma seslerine benzer cigirtmalariyla son bulur.

adamlar da sarkiyi kayit ederken iyi bir is yaptiklarinin farkindaymis tabii. sarki bitip, charlie watts’un davula en son vurmasindan yarim saniye kadar sonra, sag kanalda keith richards’in sesi duyulabilir: “yeah!”

d'angelo'nun brown sugar isimli albumunun, ayni isimli parcasi.

let me tell you 'bout this girl
maybe i shouldn't
i met her in philly and her name was brown sugar
see we be makin' love constantly
that's why my eyes are a shade blood burgandy

the way that we kiss is unlike any other way that
i be kissin' what i'm kissin' what i'm missin'
won't you listen

i want some of your brown sugar

sugar (4 times)

oh sugar when you're close to me
you love me right down to my knees
and whenever you let me hit it
sweet like honey when it comes to me
skin is caramel with those cocoa eyes
even got a big sister by the name of chocolate thai

brown sugar babe, i gets high off your love
i don't know how to behave

ooooh ooh

now that be how the story goes
brown sugar got me open, now i want some more
always down for a menage troi
but i think i'ma hit it solo
hope my niggaz don't mind

stick out my tongue and i'm 'bout
ready to hit this pretty gritty
bitty with persistance
yo, i don't think ya'll hear me
brown sugar babe
i gets high off your love
don't know how to behave

the rolling stones parcasi olup mick jagger ve keith richards tarafindan yapilmistir.

gold coast slave ship bound for cotton fields
sold in a market down in new orleans
scarred old slaver knows he's doing alright
hear him whip the women just around midnight

brown sugar how come you taste so good?
brown sugar just like a young girl should

drums beating, cold english blood runs hot
lady of the house wonderin' where it's gonna stop
house boy knows that he's doing alright
you shoulda heard him just around midnight

brown sugar how come you taste so good, now?
brown sugar just like a young girl should, now

ah, get along, brown sugar how come you taste so good, baby?
ah, got me feelin' now, brown sugar just like a black girl should

i bet your mama was a tent show queen
and all here boyfriends were sweet sixteen
i'm no schoolboy but i know what i like
you shoulda heard me just around midnight

brown sugar how come you taste so good, baby?
ah, brown sugar just like a young girl should, yeah

i said yeah, yeah, yeah, woo
how come you...how come you taste so good?
yeah, yeah, yeah, woo
just like a...just like a black girl should
yeah, yeah, yeah, woo
